    With all the missed layups and the fourth-quarter laziness, there wasn't any stealth to this. This looked like a game the Blazers didn't care to win, which is weird because there probably are about four guys in this roster that are going to be around next season.

    Billups post game OKC interview made it seem like he’s accepted the tank. Saying “I’m fine” with how they played.

    CJ’s not doing anything lately to up any kind of trade value. I was thinking some team might want him for a playoff run. Even though I know his contract isn’t something teams want to absorb.

    cj's FT% is shockingly bad for how good of a shooter he is.

    killing his true shooting numbers

    I don’t know. I think he’s a pro. Just really streaky and one dimensional.

    I mean, with CJ's body of work, teams know what they are and aren't getting if they acquire him. So a cold stretch around a trade deadline where your name is being talked about all over the place not only doesn't effect CJ's trade value, it's to be expected. CJ has seemed disconnected this season (see his ft%). I don't think he had the same conversation with Cronin that Nurk did.

    Since CJ came back, and then Nas went down.....mostly yuck. Effort is less, Iso is more. Ping pong balls back on the rise.

    CJ isn't stupid....he knows his biggest supporter, by far, got fired 2 months ago. He's been around long enough to hear the chatter about how bad a fit he is with Dame and how often his name is mentioned as not only a logical trade but a needed one

    It seemed like neither team was interested in winning this game but the Lakers do just enough down the stretch to secure a victory. Come talk about the game with us!

    A few years back, he actually led the league in FT% for a whole season.
